Ridin in the dunes (SA) with a few mates, awesome fun aye Possum

yeah I know its a hooonda


This guy is pretty good, and 20 years younger.



The CR was insane on that tyre, actually it was down right dangerous on the throttle but I got use to it eventually.

Very few photos were forthcoming so will have to go back with the GoPros and do it again

At least it not to wet there mate...

So is the CR a sand speciality?

Looks like fun

We got a bit of rain there friday night which made it almost perfect on saturday, ran the enduro tyre all day and changed to the paddle for sunday


Yep, its pissin down here right now so the sand will be peachy by next saturday

did those engine mounts hold up to the thrashing

Looks like fun, the CR must have been a real handfull

Nice! Did it tear the paddles off? Haha

not much beats the feel of a 500cc stinkwheels

You look like your shitting yourself Jonno

I was as 10secs earlier it nearly looped me, got use to it eventually, as always no cameras around for that. A short swingarm ext' would have been good, but aye I gave it a go

OMG SAND Having NEVER ridden dunes the CR made it look easy, carving up everything from the dunes and vertical climbs on one wheel. (Farking hillarious when crossing rocky ground tho ) If it wasnt hard enough keeping the little XR's nose and speed up, i had to cross those bloody CR ruts and stay out of the way of the 6metre long tail

SAT I GOT AIR!! (and both wheels!) - clearly not intentional but I landed it Woo Hoo.. Got a bit "confident" after that and had a crack at some really big stuff, did well when i got a decent run up .. however managed to hit a tree root at the top of a hill and launched her. Cant say its easy or fun getting the hanging donkey out of a tree

Had awesome fun and a crack on a 200 KTM.. SHITE could have done some real damage on that. After almost snapping the kick start off (my bloody Honda Leg ) The nimble, grunty little thing turned on a dime.. .. still not quite the bike for me.. so the search continues

Fantastic weekend all up, Got plenty of tips and advice from everyone which helped and made it even more fun.
Yes you certainly have to hate it to love it. Cant wait to get out there again
